India needs someone who is righteous enough to ethically utilize the taxpayer’s money and conniving enough to straighten up other corrupt people.

There can never be clean politics. Ethical politics is a myth and clean governance is a chimerical dream. Ethics in politics are meant only for parliamentary speeches and election slogans.

Power corrupts! And politics is meant for power.

The human mind is not stubborn. It can be manipulated easily; all it needs is a slight glimpse of Elysian and an alpha to follow. It gets aligned to a cause and the herd starts following – following someone else’s dreams and aspirations.

“Our politicians don’t think they are answerable to the masses. They are government servants; they are answerable! Not by showing their achievements in a full colour ad, but by giving services and not charging for it ..bribes,

The position and the power to control changes an individual’s behaviour and outlook and he may end up doing the same things he protested against once.

Politics is such a bitch, it gives you pleasure, but takes away all you have.

Power is addictive, power corrupts.

Irrespective of the stature of the person in a society, one can never be formal at an old friend’s place.

Eisenhower famous speech: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who are hungry and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”
